The Bible is all the evidence one needs in order to believe there is a God.
Why? Who says god wrote it?
I could just as easily write "Crashfrog is a dork" and claim those to be the words of Spud. Without a denial or confirmation from him, how are we to tell?
Evidence from the bible can't be used to verify the bible. That's circular reasoning.

Lets say everything written in the Bible turns out to be true, you still don't think that is enough evidence?
What, evidence that the bible is true? You've just asked me to assume what you're trying to prove. What's the point?
If I somehow had independant verification for every statement in the bible, I wouldn't need the bible, would I?
I would be more interested in the situation that would allow you to prove that everything in the bible was true. Proving that some of the bible is accurate doesn't prove its accuracy in total.
